Irisvouwen/ Irisfolding

Vandaag weer eens even een oude vertouwde technique

ter hand genomen: het irisvouwen.

Wil je het ook eens proberen? Hier vind je een lesje op mijn BLOG.

Het patroon van het balletjurkje is niet van mijzelf,

maar heb ik via de irisvouwgroup van Bergkaarten.

De achtergrond is gedaan met de cuttlebug en de tekst met de computer.

De sterren zijn stempels van Michael Strong,

geembossed met zilver embossingpoeder.

Today I did one of my old and favourite techniques again: irisfolding.

Have you never tried, but want to do it? 

Here is a lesson on my BLOG.

The pattern of this dress is not my own,

but I got it through my irisfolding group by Bergkaarten.

The background here is done with the cuttlebug and

the sentiment is done with the computer.

 The star stamps are by Michael Strong.

The stars are embossed with silver embossing powder.

Have a creative day!

Konijn/ Rabbit

2011 is het jaar van het konijn en daarom ben ik maar eens

rond gaan kijken, wat ik daarmee kan maken.

Ik heb een geweldig leuk kalendertje gevonden

(de maat is ong. 9x9x9 cm) en je kunt HIER een pdf file ophalen

en uitprinten om er zelf ook eentje te maken.

2011 is the year of the rabbit en so I looked around the internet

to see what I could make with this.

I found a real neat calendar (size 3,5x3,5x3,5 inch) and

you can download the pdf file HERE and make one yourself.

Hier zie jij mijn versie en natuurlijk heb ik er ook wat van mijzelf

bij gedaan. Ik heb de mini-bloem van Michael Strong

eerst 2x op wit papier geembossed met rode embossing poeder

en daarna met goud metallic rub-ons bewerkt.

Daarna nog 2x op witte krimpfolie gestempeld met rode stazon,

uitgeknipt en verwarmd met mijn heatgun.

Natuurlijk vooraf een gaatje eringemaakt voor die leuke

brad met dat pareltje erop.

Tot slot nog een lintje met een belletje om de nek van het konijntje.

This is my version of the calendar and of course I added a little something

of myself here. I used the mini-flower by Michael Strong.

First I samped and embossed it in red on white paper

and added some gold metal rub-ons.

Next I stamped the flower twice on white shrink plastic,

cut it out, heated it with my heat gun.

I did not forget to make a hole in the middle for

the cute little brad with the pearl on top.

I finished it of with a ribbon around the neck of the

bunny with a tiny golden bell.

(close of of the flower)

Have a creative day!

CCMC-132 schets/sketch

Een schetskaart n.a.v het blog van een Amerikaanse

stempelvriendin, Connieen je vind haar blog HIER.

Ik heb gekozen om de kaart met de hand stempel

 van Michael Strong te maken.

De hand is geembossed met witte embossing poeder op blauw

dessin papier (hetzelfde als ook voor de achtergrond) en daarna

uitgeknipt en met foam tape op ondergrond geplakt.

De ondergrond is perkament papier geembossed met de cuttlebug

en daarna met brads op ondergrond vast gemaakt.

This card is made according a sketch from one

of my American stamping friends, Connie

and you can fiend her inspirational blog HERE.

I chose to use the hand stamp of Michael Strong.

It is embossed on decorated paper (also used for the background)

with white embossing powder and than cut out and attached

with foam tape to the background.

The background is parchment paper embossed in

the cuttlebug and attached to the background with

some white brads.

Hier kan je de hand van dichtbij bekijken (click op de foto).

Here you can see the hand close-up (click on the photo).

Have a creative day!

to any or all of these images.  

THE RULES

you can use humor, innuendo, be a little naughty, sarcastic,

but it has got to be for a DUDE!

I used "Ride like the wind Rocky"

for Easy Rider is My DH all time favourite movie

and gives him a feeling of freedom on the road

and a way of living.

The digital stamp is colored with copic markers and the background with disstress ink.

The tire tracks is a stamp by Club Scrap (Wheels&Sprockets kit).

The background is done with the cuttlebug

and if you want to see exactly how I did this,

I have a tutorial HERE.

I just couldn't resist making another card. There are so many neat images for Valentine cards!

Here is Zeke Zoro:

After printing Zoro I colored him with my copic markers and cut out the image.

The text is printed with the computer.

The papers are by Club Scrap (All that Jazz).

The big "Z"and the hearts are cut out  with my cricut.

On top of the hearts the smaller hearts have been

run through the cuttlebug with the swiss dot

embossing folder.

I am sure you got some Valentine inpiration now!

Have a creative day!

Sunday Scrap

Vandaag meteen mijn foto's van de jaarwisseling gescrapped.

Het papier van deze pagina is van de Voge kit van Club Scrap

evenals de tekst stempel. De cijfers 2011 heb ik met de cricut gedaan.

De ovale letters zijn van Michael Strong en geembossed

met zwarte embossing poeder en uitgeponst met een smalle ovale pons.

Hierachter staat nog wat tekst en een

foto, maar die is prive, vandaar dat het verstopt is.

Door het lintje eraan, weet je dat er wat achter te vinden is.

Today I started with scrapping my pictures

from the turning of the year.

I used papers from  Club Scrap's Vogue kit and

so is the sentiment stamp.

The numbers of the year I did with my cricut.

The oval lettersare by Michael Strong 

done with black embossing powder and a small

oval punch. Behind this text there is some hidden journaling.

Because of the ribbon you know

 there is something behind the text.

Dit gedeelte van de scrap pagina kan je ook heel goed als een kaart gebruiken.

This part of the scrap page is also great to use as a card.

Happy New Year

I want to wish all my scrap and stamp friends,

all over the world a very

and I made another fun perpetual calendar for a good friend.

I used the chef digital stamp from Bonibleaux Digital Designs.

The paper is from the Club Scrap December kit, called "Vogue" .

The spoon is a little metal charm from my stash.

So if you like this calendar card,

you can see the tutorial and the template HERE.

So I hope 2011 will have something good cooking!

Have a creative year!

Here is another one, done with a same kind of background.

It is great to use the chef for dinner invitations or parties

Kalender/ Calendar

Ik heb nu to zoiets leuks gevonden op een ander blog.

Een lesje om een doorlopende kalender kaart te maken.

Wil je het ook eens proberen? Kijk dan HIER.

Voor deze kaart heb ik papier van Club Scrap gebruikt (All That Jazz), de dames zijn van I Brake for Stamps en de grote letters zijn van Michael Strong. De rest heb ik met de computer gedaan.

I just found some fun tutorial on the internet.

It is a perpetual calendar card.

Would you like to try it too? You find it HERE.

I used Club Scrap paper (All That Jazz) for the card.

The ladies are a stamp by I Brake for Stamps and

the big letters are by Michael Strong. The rest I did by computer.

Hier zie je sommige delen wat dichterbij. Als je op de foto klikt, zie je het nog groter.

Here you see some of the parts a little more close-up.

If you click on the pictures it gets even bigger.

Have a fun & creative day!

Winter

 Ja, ik had al wel wat foto's in een collage laten zien, maar natuurlijk moest ik er ook mee scrappen. Het papier van Club Scrap van deze maand "Vogue" is er zeer geschikt voor. De sneeuwman en de alfabet stempels zijn van Michael Strong. Het sneeuwvlok bedeltje heb ik op internet gevonden.

I did show you a collage of pictures of the winterweather in The Netherlands, but I also had to make a scrap page. The paper from the December kit by Club Scrap "Vogue" was just perfect for winter pictures. The snowman and the alphabet stamps are by Michael Strong. The snowflake charm I found on the internet.

Kerstboom/Christmas Tree

Are you having a wonderful Christmas?

Need some craft to play with the children?

How about folding some Christmas trees......

You can add them to a card or have the children stick them on some white drawing paper

and make some nice drawings around the tree.

Supplies:

decorated paper

cardstock or white drawing paper

glue

maybe some stamps

crayons

scissors

Start with cutting some squares:

 3"'x3", 2 1/2"x 2 1/2", 2"x2" and 1,5"x 1,5" out of the decorated paper.

Fold them according the instructions above ( or when you

rather watch a video tutorial, I found you one HERE) and

 you end up with 4 different size pieces like you see here:

Then you stack them from large to small

and stick them on a card.

Take a look at my cards for inspiration.
